Mos Def Is Full Of 'Words'

In this extremely short teaser video for his forthcoming album The Ecstatic, Mos Def uses his deft ability with words. Only instead of just speaking them, his words become him. The video opens with just a textured background that fills with words as he begins his flow and suddenly they fill and animate his silhouette. It's definitely slick, and does a great job of building interest in the album. You can pick up/download your copy of The Ecstatic on June 30th.

So because he had one bad album, you're not a Mos Def fan anymore? Yeah, that makes A LOT of sense.

No way I buy his new album, after his last travesty of an album Mos lost one of his true fans. The economy is in the crapper so I have to spend my hard earned doe carefully. This what happens when artist keep putting out BS albums, forgetting about their core base.
